Extract de Ceai Verde - Green Tea

Ceaiul verde (Camellia sinesi, Epigallocatechin Gallate [EGCG]) este originar din China si se crede ca este folosit de mii de ani.
Ceaiul verde contine multi antioxidanti polifenolici si este folosit pe intreaga planeta. Ceaiul verde a fost folosit cu succes pentru a pierde din greutate, din cauza abilitatii sale de a promova arderea rapida a grasimilor.

Ce face Ceaiul Verde?

Ceaiul Verde este o susbtanta remarcabila si este folosit de catre corp in multe moduri.
Este folosit de corp pentru a dezvolta flora benefica intestinala si pentru a o reduce pe cea daunatoare.
Ceaiul verde este folosit pentru a proteja pielea de radiatiile UV, si pentru a proteja corpul impotriva multor cancere: stomac, ovarian, colon, oral, prostata, sani si cervical.

S-a demonstrat stiintific ca ridica nivelul antioxidantilor din corp dintr-o singura doza in mod remarcabil ajutand la pastrarea colesterolului bun in corp, la incurajarea distrugerii de celule canceroase si chiar la prevenirea cariilor.
Ceaiul verde ajuta si in lupta impotriva sau prevenirea HIV (Sida), lupta impotriva cancerului administrat impreuna cu medicamente pentru tratamentul de cancer, ofera protectie creierului si creste speranta de viata.

Ceaiul verde a fost folosit cu succes pentru a pierde din greutate, din cauza abilitatii sale de a promova arderea rapida a grasimilor.

Desi se crede ca folosirea ceaiului verde cu lapte sau alte lactate ii neaga efectele benefice, cercetarile arata ca ceaiul verde in combinatie cu aceste alimente nu opresc efectele benefice.

Cine are nevoie de Ceai Verde?

Oricine poate beneficia de efectele Ceaiului Verde.
In special, vor beneficia de Ceai Verde adultii sanatosi, bodybuilderii, atletii, persoane ce doresc sa-si imbunatateasca starea intenstinelor si cei ce doresc sa slabeasca.
Imbunatatirea si mentinerea sanatatii intestinelor este imperativa nu numai pentru atleti ce necesita utilizarea optima a proteinlor, sintezei si echilibrului azotului, dar pentru toat persoanele ce doresc o stare de sanatate una. Va rezulta de asemenea intr-o digestie mult mai buna.

Ceaiul Verde ajuta la slabire prin stimularea fizica a organismului. De ani de zile extras de ceai verde a fost inclus in formulele suplimentelor pentru pierderea in greutatea. Continutul mare de cofeina ajuta la ridicarea temperaturii corpului, ce duce la termogeneza si eliberarea acizilor grasi din stratul adipos. Este de asemenea diuretic, ceea ce ajuta la eliminarea excesului de apa ce poate da impresia de balonare/umflare.

Cat Ceai Verde trebuie consumat? Exista efecte adverse/secundare ale Ceaiului Verde?

Studiile privind efectele adverse ale ceaiului negru si verde sunt foarte putine iar atata timp cat nu sunt destule pentru a crea o mediana si a trage niste concluzii clare preferam sa va oferim efectele negative ale consumului de cofeina in cantitati prea mari.

Ceaiul contine aproximativ jumatate din cantitatea de cofeina continuta in cafea. Consumul moderat de ceai verde este putin probabil cauzeze probleme pentru majoritatea oamenilor.

Insa daca anumite persoane sunt sensibile la cofeina sau consuma in exces ar trebui sa fiti atenti la urmatoarele sim
Ceai conţine aproximativ jumătate din cantitatea de cafeina din cafea, astfel încât consumul moderat de ceai verde este puţin probabil să cauzeze probleme pentru majoritatea oamenilor.

Insa daca anumite persoane sunt sensibile la cofeina sau consuma in exces ar trebui sa fiti atenti la urmatoarele simptome

• Neliniste

• Tulburari de somn
• Tremor
• Palpitatii cardiace
• Pierderea poftei de mancare
• Stomac deranjat
